DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. July 15, 2017, 6:11 PM (IDT)
A broad Russian air offensive over eastern Syrian Saturday struck main ISIS traffic routes and command centers. Targeted were Deir ez-Zour, to which many fighters from embattled Raqaa withdrew, the new central ISIS regional command center at Al-Hawiqah and oil wells at Al-Sukhnah east of Homs. The Russians also bombed the main highway running east of Homs to Deir ez-Zour.
